And at least one new post today!

Ill help George.

My 37 will be coming home at the end of the week from upholstery. I sure miss the old gal.

I just got home from sweeping all the water out of the shop..or at least as much as I could get to.. We got (depending upon exact area) between ten and eighteen inches of rain in the last couple days. My building leaked from places I didn't know it HAD. This storm was worse than many hurricanes I have been through. No damage other than the usual ten thousand branches down, some didn't fare so well. I saw a LOT of trees down and stuff damaged. Many roads still closed and we lost power several times. One power company lineman killed. A very nasty storm. Had trouble getting to my house and ended up parking the old Chevy truck on the "hard road" and walking in. Alarm at the shop kept getting triggered, so after a couple trips I said the hell with it and shut if off until the worst passed. I set it today and will se if it is OK or maybe got water in it...

Jerry, my '38 still has it's ORIG> Ill help George.

Glad to hear that the weather is calming down a bit, George. We got a good bit of rain over the last few days, but nothing compared what you got. It rained some this morning, and it looks like that was the end of it. I can see blue in the sky now!

Oh, you just HAD to mention your old Commander... I'll trade you a '59 pickup and a 289 4 speed setup for it. Yep, I still want that old tank. That applied-in-1938 paint job is still presentable too!

Hey, waddaya know, another post.

I don't have any extra parts for my 38 save for a couple headlight (cathedral style) lenses and an extra wiper motor that I really don't need but got 'cause they was CHEEP. Fortunately, my car has all it's parts... I do need one little piece of trim on one door panel and could use an extra dash center plate to hack up for a modern radio and inverter. Problem right now is TIME...I am so busy I don't have time for my own stuff... Jerry, didn't I ask you about shocks at one time or another? CRS.....and my email crashed a while back. Robert Kapteyn thinks he has a couple NOS rears if he can find them...he already got me one front and I got the other NOS on ebay. I also will most likely get some modern wheels and tires to use on the street as the stupid Coker tires are 'spensive... I was STILL sweeping water out of the shop today...and a small section of ceiling in one of the offices fell down...grrr.....should have cleaned the gutters.... Studebaker George

George I know what you went through. I was in my building when the roof blew off. It took ten years of my life, seeing water pour in. Members of our Black Hawk Chapter came to help save as much as we could. I never forget the wonderfull feeling when I saw my friends come and spend countless hours drying parts and dipping them in WD40.

I am still looking for these rear shocks. I know I have them. Bob Kapteyn
